The command becomes a stub that tells people to run 'pip install patch-manager'. buildman still imports the shared modules commit and patchstream (along with their dependencies), so this series leaves those in place. It drops the tool's code, tests, CI hooks and packaging, and removes the in-tree documentation, moving the b4 contributor guide alongside the patman note in the patch-sending docs. It also adds a .patman-defaults file so the external tool is set up for U-Boot, next to the existing .b4-config. Where the CI jobs relied on patman's requirements for the setuptools that pylibfdt needs, they now install scripts/dtc/pylibfdt/requirements.txt instead. More could be done here: commit and patchstream (and their dependencies series, get_maintainer and settings) only remain because buildman still imports them. A follow-up could move those into u_boot_pylib (or buildman itself) and drop the rest, leaving tools/patman as just the stub.
